February 1, 2021 to August 13, 2021

Veterans Health Administration

Covering 2.7% of the U.S. population

Vaccine protection declined by mid-August 2021

Decreasing from 91.9% in March

Down to 53.9%

Declines were greatest for the Janssen vaccine followed by Pfizer–BioNTech and Moderna.

Specifically, for protection against infection

Janssen
March, 92%
August, 3%

Moderna
March, 91%
August, 64%

Pfizer
March, 95%
August, 50%
